I hope you get the chance to read it - it is a good story. Thanks for stopping by!danielleamy wrote: ↑27 May 2019, 12:13 It must be interesting to read about how a child grows up being involved in a family of violence. For most , I assume they would go the same way as their family. But this sounds like John managed to turn his life around! I would not have considered reading this before reading your great review, so thanks!

Thank you for your kind words! I also like when people do not play the victim and still come out on top. I hope you get a chance to read the book.

I am not into the mafia, but I am into true crime, biographies and people not playing the victim. Which is a big pet peeve for me. I am glad he doesn’t make excuses for anything and cannot wait to read this book. Thanks for an absolutely wonderful review that I will be glad to share.

I've come across this book on the BOTD once, and I thought it would be a good read. Thanks for such a glowing review of the book.![]()
